Winter days at Larnach Castle have a beauty all of their own.

Crisp mornings, still air and if you’re lucky, glorious sunrises spilling over the Castle and the Otago Peninsula.

It’s the kind of view that makes an early start feel very worth it.

Unique in the Southern Hemisphere, our hanging spiral staircase of late Georgian design connects the floors.

It was constructed without nails, screws or visible means of support. This architectural masterpiece instead used dowels, complex curves of the spiral and skillful joinery for strength.

This is the beautiful workmanship of Walter Riddle.

The darker the sky, the brighter the stars.

Out here on the Otago Peninsula, evenings at Larnach Castle have a magic of their own.

With little light around and wide skies overhead, the stars feel close enough to reach.

A beautiful reminder to slow down, look up and take it all in.
